Bush medicine: how Indigenous practice has survived millennia
A new exhibition at the University of Melbourne's Medical History Museum, Cultural Medicine: The Art of Indigenous Healing celebrates 65,000 years of First Nations medical knowledge and practice from across the continent. It reveals fascinating stories of medical practice, including when Indigenous knowledge of the corkwood plant was used to develop a seasickness pill for the Allied D-Day invasion.
